Did EK just drop the HHKB's price?
« on: Thu, 23 May 2013, 08:27:24 »
The HHKB2 is now $260 on EK's site.  I could have sworn it was $270 a week ago.

Maybe the value of the dollar will continue to be stronger vs Japanese currency and we can enjoy even lower prices ^_^

The yen just gained against the dollar.  Wonder what's the cause of Brian's most recent price drop.

It dropped an earth shattering $10? That's less than 4%. Maybe this will hit front page on slickdeals.

He's the only distributor, so he's in price competition with his own keyboards.

His prices on everything else have remained the same.  IMHO, he wants to lower his stock on HHKB, realizing that once the FC660C is restocked, for a while anyway, the FC660C is going to be the desired Topre purchase.

Maybe he's reached a point in his stock where his balanced price warranted a decrease, prior to that currency fluctuation.

I kinda like having both. Quiet Type-S for work, and heavy 55g for gaming at home.

I just bought 50.  I'll resell them at $265 when it goes back up to $270 next week.
